ECOSYSTEM CHANGES

Ecosystem level impacts of invasive species removal and climate change are two topics we have begun exploring.

Ecosystem changes as a result of predator removals. We investigated the impacts of increased seabird numbers (as a result of a predator eradication) on soil chemistry and plant distribution at Kaena Point. Download results here.
